Why has the ACMA increased the number of available UHF CB channels? To provide additional channel capacity within the UHF CB Band the ACMA will over the next 5 years change the majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband 80 channel use. During this time wideband channel use will be gradually phased out as users upgrade their existing radio’s. This means that the new Oricom narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older wideband radios. Some of these channels are locked and cannot be used, (see the attached channel chart for more information). When will this take place? Early in 2011 new AS/NZS Standards came into effect allowing operators to use additional narrowband channels and also use narrowband transmissions on some current wideband channels. This increased the number of channels up to 80, 75 of which are useable voice channels. What issues may users experience during the transition phase? When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency. The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and narrowband radios. It is expected that as older wideband radios are removed from service that this issue will be resolved. Most radios in use will be narrowband eliminating this issue.

Scanning The radio SCAN function has the ability to allow programmable channels to be scanned for groups of users. Channels can be scanned (40 channels per 5 seconds). When a signal is found, scanning will stop at that channel to allow the signal to be heard, then resume scanning when the channel is clear again. Scan Groups The Radio features three scan modes - Open Scan, Group Scan and Memory Scan. Open Scan The Open Scan feature scans for activity on all CB channels. Once a channel is located, scanning will pause then will allow the signal to be heard. As soon as the channel is clear for 5 seconds, scanning will continue automatically. Open Scan
Group Scan With Group Scan the Radio scans for activity, but in addition, it also inserts your Priority Channel into the scan sequence. This means that your Priority Channel will be monitored regularly while scanning to ensure that no calls are missed. Any signals received on your Priority Channel will take precedence over any signals received on the other channels.

Channels 1-8 and 41-48 inclusive are used for mobile reception and channels 31-38 and 71-78 for mobile transmission. † Speech telephony shall be inhibited on these channels. ‡ At the time of production Channels 61, 62 and 63 are guard channels and are not available for use.
Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency. CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35. A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel. Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to another unused "SIMPLEX" channel to allow others to use the calling channel. Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice communications are not allowed on these channels. Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
